There’s data that suggests approximately 30% of the world’s adult population suffers from one or more indicators of insomnia: difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or sleep that isn’t restorative. Insomnia is so challenging to treat is that it can have multiple causes, ranging from poor sleeping habits to mental health disorders. That means that, often, a holistic approach is necessary. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each kind of insomnia shows an imbalance of energy in a specific part of the body. The acupuncturist redirects the imbalanced flow of energy and helps to decrease anxiety, activate melatonin generation, initiate sleep, and lessen sleep disturbance and arousals at night.
